Learn what a microservices architecture is, its advantages, and why you
should consider using one when starting a new application. The book
describes how taking a microservices approach from the start helps avoid
the complexity and expense of moving to a service-oriented approach
after applications reach a critical code base size or traffic load.
Microservices from Day One discusses many of the decisions you face
when adopting a service-oriented approach and defines a set of rules to
follow for easily adopting microservices. The book provides simple
guidelines and tips for dividing a problem domain into services. It also
describes best practices for documenting and generating APIs and client
libraries, testing applications with service dependencies, optimizing
services for client performance, and much more. Throughout the book, you
will follow the development of a sample project to see how to apply the
best practices described.
What You Will Learn:
- Apply guidelines and best practices for developing projects that use
microservices
- Define a practical microservices architecture at the beginning of a
project that allows for fast development
- Define and build APIs based on real-world best practices
- Build services that easily scale by using tools available in most
programming languages
- Test applications in a distributed environment
Who This Book is For:
Software engineers and web developers who have heard about
microservices, and want to either move the project/applications they
work on to a service-oriented environment, or want to start a new
project knowing that building services helps with ease of scaling and
maintainability. The book is a reference for developers who have a
desire to build software in smaller, more focused and manageable chunks,
but do not know how to get started.
